2 There are no set minimum or maximum levels for accepting hospitality from external stakeholders. Guidelines state that staff should accept hospitality only when this can be defended as being in the interests of the Department's business – for example, because significant relationship-building is a business aim. When offering hospitality funded by the Department Of Health the following maximum allowable rates apply: £40 Lunch, £50 dinner. Does not normally include attendance at functions hosted by HM Government; ‘diplomatic’ functions in the UK or abroad, hosted by overseas governments; minor refreshments at meetings, receptions, conferences, and seminars; and offers of hospitality which were declined. | Date | Name of Organisation | Type of Hospitality Received (if accompanied by spouse, partner, or other family member or friend insert an asterisk \*) | |--------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | 26 April 2012 | Association of British Pharmaceutical Industry (ABPI) | Dinner | | 10 May 2012 | Association of British Dispensing Opticians | Dinner | | 16 May 2012 | Essex Local Pharmaceutical Committee | Dinner | | 17 May 2012 | London Medicine and London Higher | Dinner | | 20 June 2012 | Wellcome Trust | Dinner | | 26 April 2012 | ABPI | Dinner |
